HELP MAKE OUR
SILENT AUCTION FUNDRAISER
A SUCCESS
We are working on putting together an online silent auction fundraiser to support our Mini Grants Program and SBPCA events and activities. We would be thrilled if you could help with any of the following:
Donate an item for us to auction off, such as a physical item, a gift card, or an offer of services. (Note that physical items should be new/unused.)
Help us secure donated items from local businesses, professional service providers, and your friends. Help them support a great organization! (We’re happy to give you suggestions and tips if you contact us!)
Help us spread the word about the auction once it’s active online. Let us know you’ll help with this aspect of event lead-up and we’ll provide you tips!
Bid on items once the auction is live online!
Help us thank auction item donors after the online event is over.
If there is another way you’d like to help that isn’t listed above, please reach out to us!
Email us or talk with event organizer Naomi Kovacs ASAP if you’re interested in any of the above!
HELP WITH EVENTS
Our social and educational events are important parts of what we do as an organization. Help us make them fun and successful!
Volunteer to help organize one or more of our social, educational, or outreach events.
Offer your home to host one of our social events or annual meeting.
Serve as a presenter or panelist at one of our events (such as our annual Peace Corps Send Off & Speakers Panel or as part of our Bringing It Home speakers series).
Contact us if you’re interested in any of the above!

Published annually by the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) of Wisconsin-Madison, the International Calendar is an important part of the Third Goal efforts of RPCVs across the country.
